WHO
Singer Duffy
The 24 year old's retro-soul album Rockferry and the hit song "Mercy" have topped many personal playlist charts this summer. Here's an interview that InStyle Magazine hosted with this "boyish style, pixie look" singer.
Fashion Obsessions: Striped nautical shirts-and shoes from Christian Loboutin, Miu Miu and Dolce & Gabbana.
Recent Splurges: A peach-colored linen Chloe jacket and a big flat Screen TV.
Fave Jeans: I like high-waist pairs from Nudie and Diesel and D& G makes great long skinny ones.
Style Credo: I have to trust my instinct when I buy clothes, if in doubt, I say no.
